Abstract

In 2005, the Higher Education Careers Service Unit (HECSU) launched an ambitious programme of research, designed to explore the process of entry into and through higher education in more detail than had hitherto been attempted. This programme, Career-making, has at its core a major longitudinal study, Futuretrack, of all applicants to full-time UK higher education courses who applied through the Universities and Colleges Admissions service (UCAS) in 2006. This report contains outline details and preliminary findings from the first stage of this, the Future track census study of 2006 applicants, which was conducted in
summer 2006 at the point where the majority of respondents aspired to embark on a full-time higher education undergraduate or sub-degree course in autumn 2006.
